I want the kids who thought high school sucked to know that life is better than high school. Don't despair. You have a whole world out there to find a place to fit, or make one for yourself. It's not always easy but it's good.

I would tell them that as wonderful as Bristol is for their young growing years, they should leave the boundaries of Bristol and experience other communities and then if they decide to come back as adults, they can say that they have lived and experienced something other than Bristol.
